Welcome to Much Wenlock Festival
We are fortunate indeed that our 2012 Festival falls both in this historic Olympic year and that Her Majesty the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee celebrations take place at the start of our festivities. Our aim is to provide top quality, wide ranging events for our supporters old and new to experience and enjoy in this very special year.
The wonderful setting of Much Wenlock and its surroundings provides the venues for a host of entertainment including The Merry Wives of Windsor, music from the West End, Secrets & Inspirations, Fringe, rambles and much, much more to suit all ages and tastes.
Through the continuing generous support of our sponsors, patrons, advertisers and Friends we are again able to keep our ticket prices low. Do come to the Much Wenlock Festival for a very special summer celebration and join in the festivities.
